From Word of Sport:
An account of Ernest Shackleton's audacious expedition to cross the continent of Antarctica on foot. Charting the achievments of this great explorer and his contemporaries as they endeavoured to conquer a continent of ice, it documents Shakleton's leadership skills when his ship was crushed by ice in 1915.
From the Publisher:
In 1914, Anglo-Irish explorer Ernest Shackleton set sail aboard his ship Endurance, leading twenty-eight men in an audacious attempt to cross the antarctic continent. The story of their survival, against all odds, remains one of the most gripping and inspiring dramas of the twentieth century.
This volume charts the achievements of Shackleton and his contemporaries, Amundsen, Scott, Wilson, and others, as they attempted the exploration of the continent of ice. Richly illustrated throughout with historical photos, this large-scale paperback is an enthralling introduction to a perennially fascinating topic.
